In this talk, Dr. Cruz explores the antidote to physician burnout and attrition. Dr. Cecilia Cruz has an MPH in International Health, and is a board certified Emergency Medicine physician with over twenty years of experience. In 2018 Dr. Cruz was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Although that was a very challenging time, it created a pause in the demands and expectations of day-to-day life allowing Dr. Cruz the opportunity to deeply contemplate her life, her values, and her purpose. By the time her treatment was over, she knew that she could not go back to living the way she previously had. She wanted to maintain the clarity she had managed to achieve, but did not really know how. She searched for ways to do so, and discovered the power of positive intelligence and mental fitness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
